If I stay sat night will need somewhere to stay a night. Anybody planning some off road? I will be riding with a group of Big Adventure Bike's doing the 3 day Smokey Mountain 500 on June 8th. Leaving out of Stecoah, NC. (Iron Horse) coming your way on 28 but turning off early 2511 Fontana Rd, Robbinsville, NC 28771 on the Upper Tuskeegee Road heading to Tellico Plains area the first night. This will be a mix of dirty roads with some curvy asphalt connectors. We will be on 50/50 Mitas E-07's tires. You can drop out at many locations and head back to Fontana or ride on with us. We will return to Iron Horse on the 10th.

Get with me and we'll see what we can make happen. Depending on Joel getting the twin star ready I may not take my Enduro. If that's the case, we would have four bikes on my trailer (me, Joel, rawlins, what) which would fit no problem. 5 gets pretty tight, but has been done. Thanks for the offer man. I may head down a day or 2 early if I can swing it so I'll probably drive myself. Currently I do have a spot for a smaller bike on my trailer, nothing larger than a Daytona though, probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebbors Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 As I have stated before I will be bringing my Travel Trailer. In a desperate spot I could put a single bike in the trailer as long as it was not massive. I will also have room for at least 2 other people if anyone wants to ride in the cab of my pickup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK? Sure thing. I'll be bringing all my tools along including the tire changing variety (weights too), so we could potentially just do the tire change at Fontana.

I'll be leaving NE Ohio the evening of 5/31 heading down thata way. Keep me in mind for this ok? No problem what so ever. You and the Romer are welcome to join in for as long as you like. We stay in motels, you can trail camp if you like. Iwill keep you updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will stay a few days at Ironhorse, and a few days at Blue Ridge MC Campground as well. I'm taking a full three weeks off for this trip, so will also do a couple motels too. Just picked up a used Redverz Solo tent in great shape (only used for a single Alaska trip by original owner). Can't wait to use it. The ironhorse is a pretty kewl setup! The little restaurant on the road in has some awesome catfish too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not have some socket sizes for front/rear axle nut. Currently I have a 22mm, 25mm and 27mm and that motion-pro multi size allen socket tool. I don't have a chain break tool either. I'll even bring lube. Edited April 28, 2017 by what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekClouser Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Okay guys, Unfortunately, I've accepted a position with a new company and the new job starts June 6th so I won't be able to attend this like I wanted. I booked my trip the week before since I'll be in the interim between companies. I've only been there once before and it was literally for a day (enough to experience the tail, cherohala, rocky mountain national park) Can you guys give me a list of must see's so I can program into Sygic so we don't miss out. So far I've got Bald River Falls, Cherohala Skyway, Wolf Pen Gap, Tail of the Dragon, & Blood Mountain. I'm more looking for awesome scenic areas or dining areas or anything else you figure out is a must do. Thanks gents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the go to route that I invented years ago that everyone else uses and raves about. It covers all of the above, but not all of Blood Mountain. Tuff to hit Wolf Pen and all of Blood at the same time. https://goo.gl/maps/ubUwddnqNfC2 In Franklin you have to go here, and get a bowl of the Blue Crab Bisque. Yes, I was the first to discover this place too. They only take cash. Don't let the fact that it shares space with a gas station fool you. It is 5 star French with very fair prices. https://www.facebook.com/CaffeRel/ I am assuming you are trailing down, so I won't bother to waste time with my routes to get down there.
